Tanque Verde Falls is on a normally mild creek that flows through a very scenic canyon a few miles east of downtown Tucson.
My friend and I went out there yesterday morning. A mid-week day and overcast instead of the usual clear blue sky, so we figured there wouldn't be many people, and we were right ... there was not another soul when we got there. We had the entire canyon to ourselves.
The Falls are in Coronado National Forest, and the Forest Service has built a trail from the road down into the canyon, so it's easy getting to the creek. Once in the canyon though, you need to be in pretty good condition, because you'll be scrambling and boulder-hopping quite a bit.
On nice summer weekends, there are usually lots of people near the bottom of the trail, but you can wander upstream a ways and find lovely secluded locations.
We made our way about a half-mile upstream, found a nice sandy spot, and took off our clothes.
It wasn't sunny, but the soft, cool breeze through the canyon was refreshing, and we enjoyed the quiet and solitude. A raven meandered among the cliffs above us, as if to let us know he was on to us, and there wasn't anything we could get away with without him knowing.
We spent a few hours in the canyon, had lunch, and climbed back out. A lovely way to spend a day.

Buzzard, I think Tanque Verde is better than Sabino Canyon ... much less crowded and more scenic besides. Have you and your wife been over this way much?

Carole, I have family in teh Tucson area and have hiked Tanque Verde when I visit. It is just as you say. The last time I was there there was no one there either. After awhile a small group came down the trail, so I put my clothes back on, not knowing the protocals. They stayed for a few minutes and then hiked back up...kind of wonder if they came down to get nude but didn't when they saw that I had my clothes back on...oh well.

I have lived in tucson and am a tucson native and i have been visiting the canyon for 35 years. the days that BIG Jim was the mayor down there. Todd took over, me and my wife carol & Marty have had a lot of great times down there. Even my children are part of the nudist colony, since little and they appreciate the quite and solutude of the canyon as we do ourselves. In my opinion the canyon is at its best in April because of the snow melting in the Rincons. During this time Sundays is the day that everyone comes out of there cacoons. while standing in the beach looking east to your left you will find volleyball, hacky sack and various other sports . After using them please put back. On april 10 i will be down there with my daughter Viviane and grandchild in hopes in meeting new people and making friends.
Until then , Adios
